Tunabites at Convention Trade Show

[Mark Mc]

We'll have a booth at the tradeshow.....will be selling mostly a kit which will have:

- two sizes of Tunabites swimbaits (casting & trolling)
- a variety of colors (including plenty of the best patterns last year)
- 3 sizes of jigheads (casting & trolling)

All in a nice Plano box, at a "convention special price" (about 25% off the normal price).

If you have any special requests please send me a pm.

See you at the booth!

edit (1) - the kits shown, in the 3600 size box, are $40 if bought or ordered at the convention. Shipping for that kit is $5.

edit (2) - If you want more jigheads than the 10 I put in the kit, you may purchase them from Marty. He will be at the booth with me with bulk packages of jigheads.

I still have yet to determine the contents (and therefore the price) on the larger 3700 box. It will probably be between 60. and 70. Shipping the larger kit would be a bit more because that box will not fit in a priority mail envelope package. So talk to me / email off line to discuss shipping options for larger quantities.

Mark,
You can mark 1 box for me.
Cya there.

[HOGGEMIN]

Mark please make me up a PRO pack a larger version for me I will gladly pay the extra. As I havent had any of your Tuna bites yet.

[Mark Mc]

Hhhmm.....the "pro pack".....you mean the special ones that have my personal, uber-secret-weapon swimbaits, with extra mojo sprinkled on top?

OK Mikey, you got it!

HiTek, glad to do it for ya.

Thx,

Mark

[corrirod]

Count me in for an uber too Mark! I've been saving my pennies all winter for this!

[Mark Mc]

The standard kit comes in a Plano 3600 size box. It has 16 large, and 24 medium swimbaits; jigheads - 2ea 3/4 oz, 4ea 1 oz, 4 ea 2 oz.

The (empty) 3700 size box is next to them. I still have to figure out how many lures & jigheads; probably about 50% more than the other kit.

[corrirod]

I'd take the 3700 Mark. You know best what to fill it with. Just let me know how much $$$ to bring you!

[Mr. Fisherman]

Mark, Tell me how much to bring...
I'll have a Mikey special if I can still afford a place to sleep and gas money to get home... and maybe a raffle ticket

[StickFish]

Mark, put me down for one, either my wife Hoggemin or HiTekRdNek will grab it for me - course the way things are going I'll be there in person any how

[KeyWest]

Mark,

I will take a 3700 box as well. I won't be at the convention (fishing instead), but I can swing by - probably later next week?

[flapbreaker]

I'm ignorant but are we talking about the portland sportsman show or some other show? oh wait, your talking about the salty dog convention. Can't make it there. How would we go about getting one of your kits if we can't make it to the show?

[royalfish]

Mark,
Put together a 3700 box for me and I will pick it up at the convention.
If for some reason that my plans change, you can mail it to me and I promise to sign the check this time

[Mark Mc]

Thank you all for the interest, and pre-orders. I wasn't anticipating this

I'll make a list of these pre-orders, and re-confirm shortly before the convention.

The kits shown in the photo above, in the 3600 size box, are $40 if bought or ordered at the convention. Shipping for that kit is $5.

I still have yet to determine the contents (and therefore the price) on the larger 3700 box. It will probably be between 60. and 70. Shipping the larger kit would be a bit more because that box will not fit in a priority mail envelope package. So talk to me / email off line to discuss shipping options for larger quantities.

[flapbreaker]

MarkMc If you ommited the plano boxes and just put everything in a ziplock you could fit it in a flat rate box regardless of weight and ship for about $8. Just an FYI

[Tower Todd]

Mark,

I'll take a pro pack as well. Not sure if I'm going to be able to go to the convention, so I may need to have it shipped. Let me know when the pricing is done.

P.S.: What is that picture in your avatar? The grim reaper?

Tower Todd

[fishindude]

I am glad I got mine early. Sounds like you are going to be busy selling lots of swimbaits. I am very impressed with the selection and price I got. I really like the sample clone you sent. I would like to pick up some more of those sometime. I really recommend Mark and his swimbaits. Definately a pleasure to do buisiness with.

[Mark Mc]

Todd, that's an "artist's rendition" of Capt Ahab.

Flap, good thinking there. I have tested the various options of packaging. I do just as you suggest....packing lures in zip-locks into the priority mail envelopes and boxes.

With the envelope, I can cram up to about $50 worth of swimbaits. Above that, and it has to go in the $8 box, which I prefer to avoid unless the box is truly filled.

In a test, the 3600 box will indeed fit in the envelope :blush: although it's a tight squeeze. It will most certainly need a bunch of tape to ensure it doesn't bust.

edit: fishindude, you are too kind. I hope I can live up to that.

[Tower Todd]

Now I see it. I tried to enlarge the picture to look at it, but it doesn't work that way.

[Mark Mc]

AAArrgh! Buy me swimbaits, maties....or we'll feed ya to the white whale!

[colbachlaw]

Mark,

count me in for one too.

Throw it in the mail when you get a chance.

Thanks,

Mike C

[TROPHY1]

Ok Mark don't throw me to the white Whale. Make me up a special pro pack and I will get it from you at the convention.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
Thanks

[Fish-N-Fun]

Mark,
I trust you received our order via PM so Trevor and I don't become bait for the whale!!

Troy

[crabbait]

Please build me a 3700, Mark, except triple the jigheads. You should include superglue with the Pro-packs!

[Chromaflage]

Mark, what about the "fellow CIH, attend my GOSH seminar and give me a good evaluation" discount?

[O Tshawytcha]

Please mark me down for a "pro" pack(note: propack to be used by amateurs ).

GRIFF

[Mark Mc]

Kerry, what did I tell you about "worlds colliding" ? Those 2 worlds are not supposed to mix! It would be catastrophic.

Yes, I can be bribed

[Chromaflage]

Mark, all I can promise is that I'll avoid shop talk at the convention - that's the easy part. But avoiding fish talk at the other - not so easy. I will try to maintain self control for the greater good.

[Mark Mc]

A clarification:

If you want more jigheads than the 10 I put in the kit, you may purchase them from Marty. He will be at the booth with me with bulk packages of jigheads.

Please contact him directly (ifish name is Marty ) if you have any questions about bulk packs of jigheads.

[SPAZZ]

Mark, I will take one of the 3700 boxes also. I can pick it up at the convention or you can ship it to me.
thanks in advance-Brian

[Aqua Therapy]

I'll take a 3700 also and pick it up. Then someone can explain to me how to use them.

Mike

[Mark Mc]

Thanks again folks for all the pre-orders.

I need to tell you one thing.....We have focused most of our inventory on the $40 kits (3600 box). Based on the input so far, I am at the limit for any more 3700 box kits. For convention pick-ups, I have plenty more 3600 boxes.

If you simply wanted more lures, and don't care so much about the 3700 box, it would be easier for me to:

1) sell you the 3600 kit, plus a zip-lock bag with another 10. or 20. worth of lures; OR

2) ship you the same (larger) amount of lures in a soft-pack, sometime after the convention.

Thanks for the interest, and for the understanding.

- Mark

[Chromaflage]

Mark, hopefully you haven't forgotten about some for me. I'd take the 3600-IH box.
